<p>Construction of the Burj Khalifa began in 2004, with the exterior completed in 2009. The primary structure is reinforced concrete. The building was opened in 2010 as part of a new development called <a href="/wiki/Downtown_Dubai" title="Downtown Dubai">Downtown Dubai</a>. It is designed to be the centerpiece of large-scale, mixed-use development. The decision to build the building is reportedly based on the government's decision to diversify from an oil-based economy, and for Dubai to gain international recognition. The building was named in honor of the ruler of <a href="/wiki/Abu_Dhabi" title="Abu Dhabi">Abu Dhabi</a> and president of the United Arab Emirates, Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan; Abu Dhabi and the UAE government lent Dubai money to pay its debts. The building broke numerous height records.</p>
<p>Burj Khalifa was designed by Adrian Smith, then of <a href="/wiki/Skidmore,_Owings_and_Merrill_LLP" title="Skidmore, Owings and Merrill LLP" class="mw-redirect">Skidmore, Owings and Merrill</a> (SOM), whose firm designed the <a href="/wiki/Willis_Tower" title="Willis Tower">Willis Tower</a> and <a href="/wiki/One_World_Trade_Center" title="One World Trade Center">One World Trade Center</a>. Hyder Consulting was chosen to be the supervising engineer with NORR Group Consultants International Limited chosen to supervise the architecture of the project. The design of Burj Khalifa is derived from patterning systems embodied in <a href="/wiki/Islamic_architecture" title="Islamic architecture">Islamic architecture</a>, incorporating cultural and historical elements particular to the region, such as the <a href="/wiki/Great_Mosque_of_Samarra" title="Great Mosque of Samarra">spiral minaret</a>. The Y-shaped plan is designed for residential and hotel usage. A buttressed core structural system is used to support the height of the building, and the cladding system is designed to withstand Dubai's summer temperatures. A total of 57 elevators and 8 escalators are installed with a capacity of 12 to 14 passengers per cabin.</p>
<p>Critical reception to Burj Khalifa has been generally positive, and the building has received many awards. However, the labor issues during construction were controversial, since the building was built primarily by workers from South and East Asia, who earned low wages and were reportedly housed in poor conditions.</p>

<p>Burj Khalifa was designed to be the centerpiece of a large-scale, mixed-use development that would include 30,000 homes, nine hotels (including <a href="/wiki/The_Address_Downtown_Dubai" title="The Address Downtown Dubai">The Address Downtown Dubai</a>), 3 hectares (7.4 acres) of parkland, at least 19 residential towers, the <a href="/wiki/Dubai_Mall" title="Dubai Mall" class="mw-redirect">Dubai Mall</a>, and the 12-hectare (30-acre) man-made Burj Khalifa Lake. The decision to build Burj Khalifa is reportedly based on the government's decision to diversify from an oil based economy to one that is service and tourism based. According to officials, it is necessary for projects like Burj Khalifa to be built in the city to garner more international recognition, and hence investment.

<p>Over 45,000&nbsp;m<sup>3</sup> (58,900&nbsp;cu&nbsp;yd) of concrete, weighing more than 110,000 <a href="/wiki/Tonne" title="Tonne">tonnes</a> (120,000 <a href="/wiki/Short_ton" title="Short ton">short tons</a>; 110,000 <a href="/wiki/Long_ton" title="Long ton">long tons</a>) were used to construct the concrete and steel foundation, which features 192 piles; each pile is 1.5 metre diameter x 43 m long, buried more than 50&nbsp;m (164&nbsp;ft) deep.<sup id="cite_ref-Emporis_24-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Emporis-24">[24]</a></sup> The foundation is designed to support the total building weight of approximately 450,000 <a href="/wiki/Tonne" title="Tonne">tonnes</a> (500,000 <a href="/wiki/Short_ton" title="Short ton">short tons</a>; 440,000 <a href="/wiki/Long_ton" title="Long ton">long tons</a>) 4,500 MegaNewtons or 4,500 MegaPascal. This weight is then divided by the compressive strength of concrete of which is 30 MPa which yield a 450 sq.meters of vertical normal effective area which then yield to a 12 meters by 12 meters dimensions.<sup id="cite_ref-VanHamptonApril2008_92-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-VanHamptonApril2008-92">[92]</a></sup> A high density, low <a href="/wiki/Permeability_(earth_sciences)" title="Permeability (earth sciences)">permeability</a> concrete was used in the foundations of Burj Khalifa in which Ultimate Compressive Strenght reach as much as 30 MPa, an effective area in which concrete is sandwiched by the pile and the column is 12meters by 12meters and thickness as least as possible.

<p>Burj Khalifa is highly compartmentalised.

<p>Special mixes of concrete are made to withstand the extreme pressures of the massive building weight; as is typical with reinforced concrete construction, each batch of concrete used was tested to ensure it could withstand certain pressures. <a href="/wiki/CTLGroup" title="CTLGroup">CTLGroup</a>, working for SOM, conducted the creep and shrinkage testing critical for the structural analysis of the building.<sup id="cite_ref-94" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-94">[94]</a></sup></p>
<p>The consistency of the concrete used in the project was essential. It was difficult to create a concrete that could withstand both the thousands of tonnes bearing down on it and <a href="/wiki/Persian_Gulf" title="Persian Gulf">Persian Gulf</a> temperatures that can reach 50&nbsp;°C (122&nbsp;°F). To combat this problem, the concrete was not poured during the day. Instead, during the summer months ice was added to the mixture and it was poured at night when the air is cooler and the humidity is higher. A cooler concrete mixture cures evenly throughout and is therefore less likely to set too quickly and crack. Any significant cracks could have put the entire project in jeopardy.</p>
<p>The unique design and engineering challenges of building Burj Khalifa have been featured in a number of television documentaries, including the <i><a href="/wiki/Big,_Bigger,_Biggest" title="Big, Bigger, Biggest">Big, Bigger, Biggest</a></i> series on the <a href="/wiki/National_Geographic_Channel" title="National Geographic Channel">National Geographic</a> and <a href="/wiki/Five_(TV_channel)" title="Five (TV channel)" class="mw-redirect">Five</a> channels, and the <i><a href="/wiki/Mega_Builders" title="Mega Builders">Mega Builders</a></i> series on the <a href="/wiki/Discovery_Channel" title="Discovery Channel">Discovery Channel</a>.</p>

The second portion, called 'Heart Beat', represented the construction of the tower in a dynamic light show with the help of 300 projectors which generated a shadow-like image of the tower.

<p>A new award was bestowed on the Burj Khalifa by the CTBUH at its annual "Best Tall Buildings Awards Ceremony" on 25 October 2010 when the building was honored as first recipient of CTBUH’s new Tall Building "Global Icon" Award. According to the CTBUH the new "Global Icon" award recognizes those very special supertall skyscrapers that make a profound impact, not only on the local or regional context, but on the genre of tall buildings globally. Which is innovative in planning, design and execution, the building must have influenced and reshaped the field of tall building architecture, engineering, and urban planning. It is intended that the award will only be conferred on an occasional basis, when merited by an exceptional project perhaps every ten or fifteen years.<sup id="cite_ref-ctbuh.org_116-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ctbuh.org-116">[116]</a></sup></p>

<ul>
<li>In May 2008, Hervé Le Gallou and David McDonnell, dressed as engineers, illegally infiltrated Burj Khalifa (around 650&nbsp;m at the time), and jumped off a balcony situated a couple of floors below the 160th floor.<sup id="cite_ref-119" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-119">[119]</a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-120" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-120">[120]</a></sup></li>
